Just a micro-post to point readers across to a radio piece (WOON 1240) recorded today. Marley gave a heads up a few days back about this interview in her Bastardette post.

This is another of those posts I guess I put off, in part because I have such difficulty finding the words, but also in part because it’s all so damn heartbreaking.
